In Memory of Feather


Here is the story of the lovely Feather,
as shared by her loving owners who knew her best . . .

Feather joined us as a companion for Rastafarian Bob because we anticipated the death of Breeze, the mare who’d buddied with him for several years.

When Feather debarked from her trailer, she looked around, chose for herself an area comfortably closed in by outbuildings and trees on three sides, laid back her ears and drove out the other two from her space.

Feather was able to hang on to dominance for a couple of months until, finally, Rastafarian Bob decided this was against nature. Despite the loving care while with Redwoods Rescue, she kept me on probation for six months or so just to make sure I was trustworthy.

Breeze lived another few years, then Rasty Bob and Feather became, in the nature of horses, inseparable.

Feather died on July 17, 2010. We’re grateful that we were part of her life and that I could be with her as she passed.
